For some crazy reasin, “THE OMEN” keeps popping into my head.
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”
-Henry Kissinger
This article is clarifying, and not BS.
My earlier post/reply is centered on the actual effect of neonicotinoid pesticides on bees, which has been studied, and my opinion that this is something, but not clear what.
This article clarifies the issue of colony collapse disorder CCD- recognized since the 1860’s.
Something else is killing off our domestic colonies of essential pollinating honey producing bees, and the main culprit seems to be the varroa destructor virus, but also africanized bees raiding/destroying hives and a whole lot else. Even moving the hives around too much has been postulated. The neonicotinoids have been postulated to confuse bees ability to return to the hives.
This is all a separate issue from GMO seeds that are sterile hybrids that cannot produce next years seeds to be saved for crop— you have to keep buying them from Monsanto/Syngenta whoever so you can keep using the pesticide for— higher yields presumably.
It has even been posited that the magnetic lines of the earth are changing and causing bees to get lost, not feed at the hive and die off.
The most interesting part of this whole posting is the continuing graft of the democrat globalist neosocialists, supported by these globalist corporations, who do not have any other goal than domination of world market, and be damned human survival (not that profit is a bad thing). The “teeing up” of Queen Hillary as heir apparent. The duplicity of the democrats... and ferreting out the “greenie” revolution BS which is really a communist/red front (as it was and is in Europe). What exactly is correct- are Putin and the Russians behind the greenies, and a false position? Either way the dems have their asses hanging out on this blatant hypocrisy. Always lining their pockets.
Juxtapose this against almost all of these firms having their basis in genetic manipulation, which terrifies the lay public— who may very well have a reason to be terrified especially in the politics of gene manipulation genome, DNA screening and....eugenics. All very Germanic socialist-— as in the Clintons and the UN, the Bushes and the New World Order.
It must be a satire but for some reason I see less and less bees every year.
I saw like four bees this memorial day weekend, almost got stung twice.....
Thank you for that observation— it is a pattern that fits the neo-globalists, the EPA, the FDA— in short it is
Marxist in scope— control the food, control the people.
Pavlov’s dogs and Lenin’s fascination that it could be done with people to control them Not far removed from Stalin’s method of dealing with the independent farmers, the so-called “rich peasants” the kulaks.
The NKVD seized all seed crops from kulaks in the Ukraine, starved them to death seized/collectivized their farms, and in the whitewash version, sold the “grain” on the market to get cash to pay back the bullion loaned by the jew bankers (this is holy screed to Stalin lovers, and even Lenin lovers who ironically skip the fact that the original politburo was comprised almost entirely of jewish marxists).
I have no love of Monsanto’s practices vis’a’vis their seeds, I only posted the article because it talks about the effects of neonicotoids on bees. Thanks for the info.
I agree, I have no conclusion either way.
I have read for several years of bee numbers declining and even people that had to hand pollinate because there were not enough bees. Interestingly enough where I live I am actually seeing more bees than I used to. Maybe bees are relocating away from whatever is killing them. That might be worth someone looking into.
Go to YouTube and watch the movie “Food, Inc.” - 11 short videos. That’ll answer all your questions about Monsanto and GMOs.
Fascinating. The one issue both left and right can agree on so:
Q: How does Monsanto keep winning?
A: They own almost all the politicians.
Gotta look at the laws. The EU is trying to prevent individuals from growing plants that are not hybrids.
If I understand this correctly, pretty soon we will not be allowed to grow plants that produce seeds.
Which means we will be beholden to the seed companies, ie Monsanto.
Not good.
I know a number of liberals who are dismayed that Obama signed the RAT-Senate promoted ‘Monsanto Protection Act.’ They apparently do not understand how the Thugocracy works.
I second the motion
All opposed
Hearing none the motion is carried.
He should have ‘caved’ on his own accord.
Illinois illegally seizes Bees Resistant to Monsanto's Roundup; Kills remaining Queens
This is a good barometor on where the United States priorities are. For freedom and liberty
The Illinois Ag Dept. illegally seized privately owned bees from renowned naturalist, Terrence Ingram, without providing him with a search warrant and before the court hearing on the matter, reports Prairie Advocate News.
Behind the obvious violations of his Constitutional rights is Monsanto. Ingram was researching Roundup’s effects on bees, which he’s raised for 58 years. “They ruined 15 years of my research,” he told Prairie Advocate, by stealing most of hisstock.
A certified letter from the Ag Dept.’s Apiary Inspection Supervisor, Steven D. Chard, stated:
“During a routine inspection of your honeybee colonies by … Inspectors Susan Kivikko and Eleanor Balson on October 23, 2011, the bacterial disease ‘American Foulbrood’ was detected in a number of colonies located behind your house…. Presence of the disease in some of your colonies was confirmed via test results from the USDA Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland that analyzed samples collected from your apiary….”
Ingram can prove his bees did not have foulbrood, and planned to do so at a hearing set in April, but the state seized his bees at the end of March. They have not returned them and no one at the Ag Dept. seems to know where his bees are.
The bees could have been destroyed, or they could have been turned over to Monsanto to ascertain why some of his bees are resistant to Roundup. Without the bees as evidence, Ingram simply cannot defend against the phony charges of foulbrood.
Worse, all his queens died after Kivikko and Balson “inspected” his property, outside of his presence and without a warrant.
Of note, Illinois beekeepers are going underground after Ingram’s experience and refuse to register their hives, in case the state tries to steal their private property on phony claims.
There are no “God Made” natural food crops. All corn and grain crops are the result of man made selection.
Over the eons, men red plants to increase yield.
“Too Big to Fail” = monopolism = fascism. It’s that simple.
I wonder...
could you literally “go underground” with your hives?
Some dryer vent into a cellar...
I was reading an article on the OC Register the other day about neonicotinoids. The Russians are overhyping the issue, like any good leftist. I’m surprised Obastard hasn’t caved to the junk science already.
I wonder if there is a wayback machine we can use to retrieve corn seeds from 200 years ago? Because that's how long we've been "genetically engineering" it.
